+# Section Engine Report
+
+## Scope
+
+Sprint 7 introduced the generic section engine used by the homepage runtime path. The implementation stays within the frozen frontend architecture and does not change backend APIs, auth, payment, or bootstrap contracts.
+
+The section engine now treats the homepage as a section collection rendered through the existing dynamic page layout pipeline:
+
+- page config -> section engine -> section renderer -> widget host -> registered widget components
+
+## Implemented Changes
+
+### Section Metadata
+
+- `src/app/shared/models/config/section.model.ts`
+
+Added explicit section metadata for:
+
+- layout strategy
+- layout columns/gap/alignment
+- desktop/tablet/mobile visibility flags
+
+### Render Nodes
+
+- `src/app/dynamic-renderer/section-renderer/section-renderer.model.ts`
+- `src/app/dynamic-renderer/section-renderer/section-renderer.service.ts`
+
+Section render nodes now carry layout and visibility metadata forward from the shared section config.
+
+### Section Engine
+
+- `src/app/dynamic-renderer/section-engine/section-engine.service.ts`
+
+Added the section engine orchestration service to build ordered page render models from section definitions.
+
+### Page Renderer
+
+- `src/app/dynamic-renderer/page-renderer/page-renderer.service.ts`
+
+Delegates page model assembly to the section engine.
+
+### Dynamic Layout
+
+- `src/app/layouts/containers/dynamic-page-layout.component.ts`
+
+The layout container now reads section layout strategy and visibility metadata when rendering sections.
+
+### Homepage Migration
+
+- `src/app/pages/home/home.component.ts`
+- `src/app/pages/home/home.component.html`
+- `src/assets/mock/bootstrap/homepage.json`
+
+The homepage now loads the runtime page model and renders its section collection instead of hardcoding the hero and product carousel blocks directly in the template.
+
+The existing category area remains on the homepage and still uses the category domain/facade path.
+
+## Validation
+
+Completed checks:
+
+- Section layout and visibility metadata compile cleanly.
+- Page renderer delegates through the new section engine service.
+- Homepage composes the runtime page model through `DynamicPageLayoutComponent`.
+- The workspace build passes.
+
+Build validation:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+## Stop Point
+
+Sprint 7 section-engine groundwork is complete for the current homepage flow. Stop here and wait for approval before extending the section system to additional website pages or adding new widget/data resolvers.
